MidbossVyers Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 (edited) OK, so I was powering up my Ebony Blade, and I chose to kill Severio Pelagia (after harvesting crops for him) because he dies anyway during the Battle for Whiterun. However, I wanted to squeeze out a few more kills with him, so I got the Staff of Revenants from elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Black_Arts_Burial_Ground I expected him to turn into dust after 1 kill, but that was still 1 more than normal. Anyway, I did it once, but his body did not turn into dust, so I did it again and again all the way up to 10 kills. Body still intact. That way I didn't have to kill anyone else for the Ebony Blade. However, is the Staff supposed to do that? I thought all reanimated bodies, except for those reanimated by the Ritual Stone, Vampire's Servant spell, or Dead Thrall spell, were supposed to turn into dust after 1 kill.

blacksupernova Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 Staff of Revenants affects much lower level dead corpse than the spell Revenants. I think not turning corpse to dust is to compensate the inferior in power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gingersnapples Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 that's a glitch, the spell staff of revenants casts is identical to the spell "revenant" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blacksupernova Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 that's a glitch, the spell staff of revenants casts is identical to the spell "revenant"The magic effect Staff of Revenants uses is identical to the spell Revenants but the spell the staff casts is NOT identical to the spell. Staff of Revenants can only raise corpse up to level 9 while the spell Revenants can affect level 21. The spell has an extra effect to turn corpse to ash while the staff do not (and I believe it is by design). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidbossVyers Posted July 7, 2013 Author Share Posted July 7, 2013 So basically, if you have the Staff, the Ebony Blade "quest" is supposed to turn ridiculously easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT: just opened up skyrim in the CK.they both use the same "reanimate" effect, but the staff lacks the secondary effect the spell has (on death effect) and has a lower magnitude. gonna fix that...
